I have a two-year-old. Up until a couple of months ago, my Lego never
came out before her bedtime (Except for her Primo and now Duplo stuff).
Also, all Lego is well container-ized and put away (see my Brickshelf
gallery for pics).
In the last few weeks, I have started letting her play with some non-
Duplo stuff with supervision. When doing this, I always make sure
she understands "Lego Rule Number One":
_No chewing on the Lego_
So far it is working out quite well. Seeing me build with the Lego
stuff has even made her more interested in her Duplo bricks!
